2 . Sri Md. Harun Quareshi, counsel for the petitioner and APP for the State. Nobody appears on behalf of Opposite Party No.2. although notice has served on her lawyer conducting the case before the court below.

3 . The petitioner is the husband of Opposite Party No.2 who filed complaint case on the file of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Nawada alleging interalia that after her marriage which took place on 16^th March, 2009, her husband in-laws started torturing her in connection with demand of Rs.1,00000/- as further dowry.

been alleged that on 28^th November, 2011, her husband and his family members attempted to sprinkle kerosene oil to do away with her life. The complainant in course of enquiry has supported the allegation of torture against the petitioner. The court below finding prima-facie case for the offence under Section 498A of the IPC ordered issuance of summons.

¶19

4 . The contention of counsel for the petitioner is that the wife is not willing to reside at matrimonial house and further that he has been granted bail by this High Court. He has filed a petition for restitution of conjugal rights showing his willingness to keep the wife.

¶20

5 . On perusal of impugned order, it appears that the petitioner is the husband of the complainant and specific allegation against him is that he started torturing and assaulting the complainant since the date of marriage in connection with demand of further dowry. The complainant in her solemn affirmation and two more witnesses have supported the allegation of torture. The court below after going through the material on record took cognizance of offence. This application is thus devoid of merit and, is, accordingly, dismissed.
